Kelingking Beach

The beach is best enjoyed in the morning to avoid the crowds, but we were lucky enough to have it mostly to ourselves despite a few other visitors. The golden sand is a standout feature, and the view is absolutely stunning. Don't hesitate to ask the locals to take your photo, as they know how to capture the perfect shot.

Must-visit destination for beach lovers. It is truly a sight worth seeing for anyone who appreciates natural beauty.

Wow, where do I even begin? Kelingking beach is undoubtedly the most stunning and breathtaking beach I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. Words cannot even begin to describe the sheer beauty of this place - it's a must-see for anyone who loves nature and the great outdoors. However, I must warn you that the trek down to the beach is not for the faint of heart, the elderly, children, or anyone who is not physically fit. It takes around 30 to 40 minutes to reach the beach, depending on your stamina and the number of people on the trail. Luckily, there are proper steps and railings midway through the trek, which are a godsend. However, I wouldn't recommend trusting them completely - they may look sturdy, but better safe than sorry. The second half of the trek is made up of natural mountain stones and broken steps, with railings continuing along the way. At certain points, the railings may be out of range, so ropes are provided to help you navigate the steep and narrow steps. The key is to bend your knees and take it slow, almost like descending a ladder. The climb back up can be quite taxing, depending on your upper body strength, but trust me when I say that the hike is absolutely worth it. Once you reach the beach, you'll be greeted by crystal-clear azure waters, warm sun on your skin, and soft white sand between your toes. It's easy to lose yourself in the timeless beauty of this place, almost as if you're living in the movie set of Avatar: The Way of the Water. So, if you're up for a challenge and want to experience a slice of heaven on earth, make sure to visit Kelingking beach. You won't regret it!

This beach is located on the west coast of Nusa Penida and is the most popular spot on the island. The sand is golden and there are many restaurants, bars, and cafeterias nearby, but none of them offer a view of the beach, only the sea. However, the hill above the beach provides plenty of great spots to take in the stunning view and snap some photos. What we loved most about this beach was the presence of wild monkeys who roam around among the tourists. It's important to note that these monkeys are not used to human presence in their area.

The beach is an absolute marvel! However, it is important to be cautious of the winding and narrow roads, particularly if you are prone to car sickness. Despite this, the breathtaking views make the journey worthwhile. It is advisable to wear comfortable slippers and quick-drying clothes as you will need to wade into the sea to reach the ferry.
